Winter Fairy

I made this to wear at Arisia 2008 - a sci-fi/fantasy convention in Cambridge, MA.

I took Butterick Pattern 5007 and shortened the top and the skirt, using different colors for the top, skirt, and sleeves. I glued rhinestones onto the top and sleeves. The belt is a purple sheer, blue sheer, and the same silver fabric as the skirt.

The wings were made out of 12 gauge wire, organza fabric, ribbon, elastic, and lots of glue. The fabric was white, but painted to have some purple and glitter.

The wig is Secret in Violet from Cosworx. I bought last year just for fun, but never used it for anything. I didn't wear it to Arisia either because I didn't feel like dealing with it during the con. These pictures were taken in my backyard.

During the con I wore white tights, but it was really cold when I took these pictures outside. So I wore my super long scrunchable purple socks over long underwear. The socks are from sockdreams.com.
